Understanding the environmental, engineering, and economic systems behind freshwater production and the transition to a new offshore economy.
New Offshore Economy: Extending Value Beyond Production
New Offshore Economy: Extending Value Beyond Production Hi, this is Mike Edwards. My oil and gas career spans four decades. Beginning as a field landman before various promotions where I…
Freshwater from Below: Energy, Phytoplankton, and Climate
Energy, Phytoplankton, and Climate As much as 40% of the energy cost for desalination is not only for reverse osmosis, but also to power the high-pressure, high-flow pumps that move…
The Energy Advantage of Depth: More Than Pressure
The Energy Advantage of Depth: More Than Pressure Operating subsea high-pressure, high-flow pumps is required only for the delivery of purified water from depth to surface or shore. Pumping only…
Beyond Desalination: Deployment, Recovery, and Infrastructure
Beyond Desalination: Deployment, Recovery, and Infrastructure Tiabzu brings the tools, technology, and methods to change the environment for desalination. We leverage natural processes – deep Ocean, hydrostatic pressure for reverse…
Prior Art – History of Subsea RO
History of Subsea Reverse Osmosis When we began looking into deepwater desalination, we quickly learned that the primary challenges do not lie with the desalination process. Hydrostatic power-driven reverse osmosis…
Ryan Elliott: Engineering from the Seafloor Up
Hi, I'm Ryan Elliott, mechanical ocean engineer, diver, and licensed professional engineer. I began working with Bob and Sussane on various projects while in commercial dive school and continued while studying…
